The Right to be Forgotten gained prominence following the 2014 ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) in the *Google Spain* case. The CJEU held that individuals have the right to request search engines like Google to remove links to pages containing their personal information if the information is inaccurate, inadequate, irrelevant, or excessive. This ruling was based on the EU's Data Protection Directive. Since then, various countries have debated and implemented similar concepts in their legal frameworks. In India, the Personal Data Protection Bill (now withdrawn) aimed to establish a framework for data protection, including aspects of the Right to be Forgotten.

In practice, the Right to be Forgotten involves an individual submitting a request to a search engine or website operator to remove specific personal information. The search engine or website operator then assesses the request based on factors such as the accuracy, relevance, and public interest of the information. If the request is granted, the information is removed from search results or the website. However, the right is not absolute, and the decision to remove information is made on a case-by-case basis, balancing the individual's right to privacy with other rights like freedom of expression.

Challenges in implementing the Right to be Forgotten include: * Balancing the right to privacy with freedom of expression and the public's right to information. * Determining the accuracy, relevance, and public interest of the information in question. * Dealing with requests on a case-by-case basis, which can be time-consuming and resource-intensive. * The potential for misuse of the right to suppress legitimate information or criticism. * The lack of a clear legal framework in some jurisdictions, leading to uncertainty and inconsistent application.

India's approach to the Right to be Forgotten is still evolving. While the Personal Data Protection Bill (withdrawn in 2023) aimed to establish a framework similar to the EU's GDPR, India currently lacks a comprehensive legal framework specifically addressing the RTBF. Various High Courts in India have issued rulings related to the Right to be Forgotten in specific cases, highlighting the ongoing debate and legal uncertainty. In contrast, the EU has a well-defined legal framework through the GDPR, which provides a clear process for individuals to request the removal of their personal data.
